Item details

When I first started selling stones here on Etsy, it was to destash my collection. I'd collected baskets and drawers of beautiful stones, with the idea of learning to make jewelry one day. But they sat around in those drawers and baskets, and I felt guilty just hoarding them, so I listed a few. They sold out quickly, and I decided that I would go out and buy more, and see how that went. And that's how I became a stone-seller. I love the search, and the joy of discovering a beautiful stone - guilt-free - and then passing it on to someone who will love it *and* use it. I may have acquired a few more stones myself, in the process, so it didn't work out entirely as planned.

I have a soft spot for these stones, with the neutral palettes of brown and cream and grey, so I try not to buy them on my first impulse. There's just something about them that is soothing and peaceful. But this one was so pretty I couldn't pass it up. I hope it makes its way to someone who appreciates it as much as I do. I apologize for how dark the photos are - when a stone is bright white, I have to turn the exposure way down in order for the details in the white to be visible.

My husband bought me digital calipers this summer. Best present ever! Now I can make very accurate measurements for my stones, and in record time:

Buying and selling stones over the internet will always be a distant second to buying the stones in real life - being able to hold them and see the colors for yourself. No matter how hard I try, there is no way I can guarantee that the stone will look exactly like the image you see on your monitor. I *can* guarantee that if you are not happy with your stone, you can return it for a full refund.
